Stargate: Universe (2011) – Seizure, and The Hunt

Stargate: Universe (2010) – Cloverdale, and Trial and Error
Cloverdale brings us to what may be my least favourite episode of the series. Written by Brad Wright, this episode was first broadcast on 26 October, 2010. Now, just because I said least favourite, doesn’t mean it’s not good. It’s just Universe has set a pretty high bar for the series. Scott (Brian J. Smith)…

Stargate: Universe (2010) – Faith, and Human
Dennis McGrath wrote Faith, which debuted on 16 April, 2010. Young (Louis Ferreira) seems to be back in charge, but there is still a lot of animosity over the military and civilian conflict. Morale seems to be low, as repairs on the Destiny seem to be taking forever. When there’s an unexpected drop out of…
Stargate: Universe (2009) – Life, and Justice
Carl Binder wrote Life, which debuted on 20 November, 2009 and has the crew discovering something new aboard the Destiny, a neural interface, i.e. a very familiar looking chair.
